An original 1983 concept sketch of the Military Freefall Parachutist Badge, designed by U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Gregory A. Dailey of 5th Special Forces Group, is displayed. The drawing includes detailed measurements, fabrication notes, and design elements such as the parachute, wings, and dagger, with provisions for star and wreath devices to denote advanced qualification levels. The concept contributed to the development of the badge later approved for wear in 1994. (U.S. Army illustration by Sgt. 1st Class Gregory A. Dailey)
